Adding insult to his furloughed employees’ injury, President Trump has ruled out pay raises for almost all federal workers in 2019.
特朗普总统已经排除了在2019年给几乎所有联邦雇员加薪的可能性，这对于暂时休假的雇员来说简直是雪上加霜。
An executive order issued late Friday froze pay at 2018 levels for 1.8 million feds, cancelling a 2.1 percent increase previously expected to take effect in January.
周五晚间发布的一项政令将180万名联邦雇员的工资冻结在2018年的水平，取消了此前预计将于明年1月生效的2.1%的工资增幅。
The order won’t affect members of the military, who are receiving a 2.6 percent bump that Congress passed in August.
此政令不会影响到军人，他们将获得国会8月份批准的2.6%的工资增幅。
The move, which Trump signaled in his budget proposal early this year, came in the midst of the government’s budget impasse—and “poured salt on the wounds of federal employees,” tweeted Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.).
弗吉尼亚州民主党众议员格里·康诺利发推特说，今年初，特朗普在预算提案中暗示过此举，政府在预算陷入僵局之际做出此举“是在联邦雇员的伤口上撒盐”。
